On the Cutting Edge of Laser Grading Technology
"Fine-grade" made easy
Cutting-edge technology and
quality manufacturing make a
difference
Finish grade elevation to within
.12 to .25 inches, depending on
the laser system used.
Field tested and proven by
contractors in construction,
recreation, turf and agricultural
markets
• Eliminates material overages,
giving contractors greater
accuracy in estimating
• More accurate and reliable than
competitive systems
Increase your grading accuracy with the easiest, most unique system on the market.
Why the Level Best works better than other methods
Easy to Operate
The laser controls are easy to learn and use.
As the operator grades, the system's receiver
detects laser light from a rotating beacon and
transmits a signal to the Level Best hydraulic
controls. The hydraulic valve uses the signal
from the receiver and automatically lowers or
raises the grading box. Precise finish grade is
attained when the "on grade" light remains
illuminated. The finish grade elevation is
consistently on-grade to plus or minus 1/8" or
1/4" depending on the laser system used.

Unique Features
Unique Advantage
• Durable Steel - Constructed of 3/8" and 1/4" steel plate and heavy-wall steel tubing, the
Level Best grading system is built to take daily abuse on a job site.
Get great grading results without the need
for costly motor-graders, dozers, or tractorloader backhoes.
The laser-controlled hydraulic system is also
unique to the Level Best grading system.
This hydraulic system utilizes proportional
valve bodies for greater accuracy and
reliability.
• Rugged Casters with Wheel Hub and Tapered Roller Bearing Assemblies - Large,
heavy-duty casters withstand years of punishment. Heavy-duty wheel hub and bearing
assemblies need only annual greasing, reducing maintenance time and costs.
• Composite Bushings - Epoxy-Fiberglass composite bushings in all pivot points. This
eliminates the need for greasing. The inexpensive, replaceable bushings wear instead of
your grading box.
• Foam-Filled Tires - This all but eliminates down time due to the repair of a tire.
• Durable Cutting Edges - Made of long wearing high-carbon steel, the main and side
cutting edges can be reversed for twice the life, and replaced in a matter of minutes.
• Powder-Coating - Tough, long-lasting powder-coating ensures that a Level Best grading
box will look great for years to come.
One worker can do what it used to
take three people to do.
“When we had to replace our finish grading attachment, we switched
brands. With Level Best we are able to move more material quicker and
have to make less passes to achieve grade. Level Best is constructed with
heavier material and less moving parts which reduces damage and
maintenance.”
- Paul Brandt,
Concrete Enterprises, Oklahoma
For easier operation, foam-filled
tires are mounted on wheel
hubs with heavy-duty, tapered,
roller bearings.
Skid steer models feature a
convex mirror for convenient
monitoring of material in the
grader box.
“The Level Best has increased my production and profits substantially, and
solved a significant problem of mine - finding good labor! A crew of men
can’t do what this machine does in a day. It has literally made me a
thousand dollars a day on projects!”
- Wayne Bell,
Wayne Bell Concrete Construction, Arkansas
A custom designed
hydraulic system gives Level
Best its unique capability.
The proportional hydraulics
allow for faster and more
accurate operation.
Designed and built for rugged
applications, the bolt-on side
and main cutting edges are
adjustable and reversible. The
cutting edges are constructed
of abrasion resistant steel for
low wear and long life.
The details make the best choice clear... Level Best.
There are lots of technologies and claims to consider. Value is sometimes hard to discern. When you look more closely, you can see the
difference in quality of materials and manufacture. Designs that put you and the operator in control are engineered for real value.

Options
• Draw Bar, 48"
The draw bar maximizes the distance
between the tractor axle and the wheels of
the Level Best box. It allows you to get to
grade more quickly, because the grading
box does not react to every bump and dip
that your tractor encounters, thus keeping
the grading box "on grade" longer. Attaches
to your tractor using the draw bar hitch
instead of the tractor's three-point hitch.
• Adjustable Top Link
A top link between the draw bar and the
grade box allows the operator to adjust
the pitch of the box. Adjusting the pitch of
the box helps to keep the end plates from
digging into graded material, making a
neater finish.
• Adjustable Hitch
An adjustable hitch, on the front of the
draw bar, accommodates the hitch heights
of most tractors or trucks
• Retrofits to Older Level Best Boxes
The draw bar option can be retrofitted to
older Level Best boxes. Converting an older
box to the draw bar option requires only
one hour.
• "Bullet Bar" Scarifier (Tractor Boxes Only)
Allows you to break up existing compacted
material to make it easier to grade. Bullet
shaped carbide teeth rotate in their holders
so they keep a sharp point while scarifying.
Shanks are supported by the grading box's
cutting edge for additional strength. Easily
bolts into your grading box.
